Letters Patent No. 80,339, dated Jug/ 28, 1868.

IMPROVBD DUMPING-GAR.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

` Be it known that I, PHYLANDER DANIELS, of Jackson, in the county oi'V Jackson, and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Dumping-Gars; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same,-

reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 represents a longitudinal section of a car provided with my improvement, and Figure 2 represents a transverse section of the s ame. Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The object of this invention is to provide a dumping-car which may be easily and quickly operated by oneA4 person.

It consists in the arrangemenon therplatform of a car, of a` dumping-bed -xed on wheels, and provided with racks and pinions,'whereby' the operator, by turning a crank, may move the said bed over the edge of the i car u'ntil it will dump by the action of momentum and gravitation, the said bed being provided with staples which are caught by hooks suitably placed at the edge's of the car, to prevent the dumping-bed from sliding o the car, and to hold it as on a pivot, to berestored to a level position by the operator previous to being returned. -by the racks and pinions to its normal position on the car, as will be more fully described on reference to the drawings, wherein- A represents theplatform of a car, on which the rollers b are arranged .in suitable bearings, in three or any vother desired number of lines, transversely of the said platform.

B represents the dumping-bed, provided with ways, C, by which it is supported, and runs on the said rollers b.

D represents racks, secured to the dumping-bed at each end, and gearing into pinions on the shaft E, which is connected at one `end, or may be at both ends, by suitable gearings with hand-cranks.

-freprcsents guide-rollers, secured to suitable posts rising Vup from the platform of the car, and arranged 'to bear on the upper face of the projecting ends of'the dumping-bed, to keep it securely in itsplace on the rollers.

i ,g represents strong staples, secured to tliedbottom of the dumping-bed near each, end, and inthe centre thereof` transversely, which are caught by the Vhooks as the bed 4is moved to either side for dumping, and the further movement ofthe bed arrested. Y The 'momentum of the bed, if the load be equally balanced, will cause it to dump, as will be readily understood, or it may be easily dumped when in this position by the operator, and as easily returned to its proper level, when it may be returned to its proper position on the car to be reloaded.

TheIguide-r'ollers f are placed in the centre of the platform, and the projecting ends of the dumping-be l are mnde`somewhat narrower at this point, so thntthey may pass from under the said rollers, to allow the bed to. dump, as described. l

Having thus described my invention, I'claim usine-W, and-desire to secure by Letters Patent- A ear-dumpng-befhprovilezl with 'means' for actuating it, substantially as and for the purpose described.
